I HATE IT !!!
It promotes lousy service. I want to have the option to reward a good server, instead of being forced to encourage a sloppy unattentive one. Went to an "Out Back" in Miami where they force a 15% gratuity as part of the final bill. The waitress made an attempt to be mildly disinterested.The food sucked, the $23 steak was like saw dust with a little pink juice thrown in to fool the eye. Yes, they Have a big sign in the front that the tip will be added , should have walked out when I saw that. Having been on my feet most of the day just wanted to sit and have something that was edilble. Boy was I mistaken, next time tired or not I will keep on walking when I see the "Gratuity added" sign. Have you had a shit experience like that ? I am not a lousy tipper , I hate to subsidise someones salary when they are undeserving.
